New Review: Bits Limited SmartStrip
gnateye:
yeah! got the new one today, works even better than i had hoped, ther is no lag time between hitting the power on key and the secondary stuff turning on, these guys are great, their service is excellent, and the product is top notch. i'll stop now. i guess they may be getting some black ones in next, i'll prolly order one of those as well.

I think it has to be more than just ATX... I think it has to be ACPI compliant as well.

With Windows 98SE, if you don't install the "2-second shutdown delay" patch, the cabinet shuts down so quickly you hardly notice the delay.

I have looked, and looked, and looked again in my bios for this option, and haven't found it yet. I assume that I don't have this option (friends motherboard). I would love it if I could enable this though

I got my Powerstrip LCG4 yesterday in the mail. It came with a Liberator for free since shipping took a while. It really is that good. Everything powers on and off with the computer. I flushed a momentary switch into a hidden locale and when I press it everything comes on, likewise when I shutdown GameEx. Really quite handy I must say. It was about $42 shipped.
